[note: when I first made this article "clubs" were called "spots" so just imagine anything that says "spot" actually says "club" ;)]

Well it seems like people are always asking how so here is a step by step guide on how to with images, yay! (there is a little thing in the FAQ but people seem to relate to images better)

Step 1: Make sure you are on the Fanpop main page

Step 2: Search for the spot first so there are no duplicates (if not then go back to the main page)

Step 3: Scroll down till you see this image and click "create new spot"

Step 4: Type in the name of the spot you are creating (use capitals when needed, looks neater)

Step 5: Put in a description (not always easy, just something little)

Step 6: Choose the correct category/channel that it should go in

Step 7: Put in keywords. These help to find your spot so put in the necessary ones







Adding an icon and banner to your spot
Step 1: Go to your spot and click "edit spot". Scroll down the page and you will see two spots to upload your banner and spot icon






Creating an icon easily
Step 1: Find an image, I prefer to make it the name of the movie or band but just an image of a character in it works too

Step 2: Select the area you want and make sure it's 100x100 pixels

This is what it'll look like

If you want something resized and do not have an image program on your computer there are always a lot of people that will help you (I personally will always help anyone)


Creating an easy banner
This is something easy that a monkey could probably do :) lol

Step 1: Find an image, any image that could fit in the space of 800x100 (never resize bigger, that makes it ugly)

Step 2: Add a coloured bar (the one going vertical) to break up the image and other bit. Then fill in the rest of the space with a lighter colour, add some text of the spot and ta-da! you have a basic banner :)

There, you now have a spot with an icon and a banner :) Hopefully that'll help some people.

O how much joy do we all get when we find out we have a prop or are a dedicated fan. It shows how are hard work of adding and loving our time on the site is paying off.

I woke this morn and loged on like every morning just to find out i am now a die-hard fan of Heroes YAY was the first thing to go through my head the joy O the joy. But my joy ended as fast as it came when another user left me an abusive comment i won't give names *cough* calippo87 *cough*, but they called me a 'gay lord' on for a pick i made this was just uneeded. :(

But then when i looked at all my props and looked at all the...

Okay, so Hulu has become a real problem recently, with misplaced videos. I know there is already an article. But I wanted to express my own views. Here are links to misplaced videos. Get the Hulu user off of Fanpop!

1.link

2.link

3.link

4.link

5.link

6.link

7.link

8.link

9.link

10.link

11.link

Okay, so there are ten links of misplaced videos. But thats nothing. Hulu has uploaded hundreds of videos, and many of them are misplaced. If you find a link to a misplaced video, put it in the comments. Maybe, just maybe, we can get rid of Hulu.

I've got another suggestion for fanpop.
What do you think? (Please comment!)



The only game on fanpop is pop quiz (except the games fans makes in the fourms). It's so much fun to answer and do questions and try to be at the top list. But there is only one game like that, so i come up with an idea.
I'll be like the pop quiz with a top list and the fans makes all the matches and you can report them (you can't remove them by yourself), everyone can comment the match after doig them and it'll shows who has done every match and how hard every match is (%), as i said it's pretty much like pop quiz!
You'll...

For quite a while I've been commenting on other people's picks and waiting for a reply, and refreshing the page, and refreshing the page, and refreshing the page, only to find that they haven't replied for 2 days and finally figure that they have probably gone on holiday or actually have a life.

So I have thought up an idea to keep us aware of any comments on our comments.... whatever; anyway I have thought up of a "keep me updated" button; this means that comments appear in our update box as if we owned the content.

______________________________________________________
I like to post my ideas in an article rather than a suggestions email because I like to see what my fellow fans think. If it's getting annoying I'll email you guys like everyone else does.

Ok, this is my first time to write a soapbox. Please be gentle with me and don't make it hurt too much. *giggle*

So I've been a member of Fanpop for a little while now, and I've seen how the community has evolved and grown. I first came to Fanpop for two reasons: link and link.

Towards the end of Season 1 of Heroes, my interest in Fanpop started waning. Call it TV burnout. But a funny thing happened: Dave sent me a message about a new feature that was going to debut: Picks! I dabbbled in it a little by adding the pick: link It was fun, but I didn't think I'd be creative enough to add any good...
